Indiana University Press 1984 Indiana University Press, Bloomington : 1984. 1 online resource (1 online resource xi, 144 pages) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Description based on print version record. Essays translated from various sources. After five thousand newspaper articles : how I became a writer -- Being a Jew : a personal account -- In the waiting room of death : reflections on the Warsaw ghetto -- Antisemitism on the left -- Eternal outcasts : prejudices against emigrants -- The time of rehabilitation : the Third Reich and historical objectivity -- Wasted words : thoughts on Germany since 1945 -- Nietzsche the contemporary : on his essay "Schopenhauer as educator" -- The limits of perspicacity : on Ludwig Wittgenstein's culture and values -- Simone Weil : beyond the legend -- Sartre : greatness and failure -- Enlightenment as philosophia perennis. Radical Humanism gives English-language readers the opportunity to expand their acquaintance with one of the most penetrating intellects of the postwar era. Philosopher, novelist, activist, and cultural, literary, and political critic, Jean Amery (1912-78) was a man of passionate concerns and interests. The astonishing range of his thought is admirably represented in the twelve essays collected here for the first time. Drawing from Amery's works covering the period 1967–78, Sidney and Stella Rosenfeld have chosen essays that fall into the broad categories of autobiography; reflections on Judaism; history and politics; and examinations of other writer-philosophers. Each of the pieces demonstrates Amery's remarkable ability to discern the very essence of any subject to which he applies himself, be it a political trend, a historic event or movement, an epoch, a life, or a philosophy. Jean Amery was not only a brilliant thinker but a master stylist. All the strengths of his incomparable writing are preserved in the Rosenfelds' outstanding translation, which readers will find provocative, illuminating, and—always—powerful.
